Schools out, and vacation is upon us. Any one who knows our family knows that adventures follow us. I always joke that we haven't been arrested or thrown out of a place yet. Well 3 days and 9 states later we are still holding on. We left out Tuesday for our trip to the Big Apple. We stopped in Virginia to spent the night. Our room was nice and the kids enjoyed the pool. It was early to bed that night. We woke up real early, ate breakfast and hit the road. First stop was Washington D.C. We stopped to visit the September 11th memorial at the Pentagon. I was truly humbled by what I saw. It is so beautiful and the design is so amazing. So much went in to it, I recommend it to any one visiting the DC area. The plan was to see all the wonder sights around the area but our GPS had other plans. After circling all the sites several times we decided as a family to hit the road and head to Baltimore, MD. It was beautiful and HOT. The kids enjoyed cupcakes at Charm City cupcakes and they where wonderful. After buying popcorn for the road we headed to our stop for the night, Philly.
In Philly we walked everywhere and it seemed like everything there closed really early. We did however get to see the actual Liberty Bell. This was yet another humbling experience. So many people where there, many from other countries and didn't speak English. With so many differences we had all come together for the same common purpose. To see a part of American history that showed a symbol of our freedom. By then we were so hungry. We happened to stumble upon a literal hole in the wall. It was so good though. With full stomachs we headed in for the night. After more swim time it was bed time.
Today we headed in to NYC. The kids are having a blast and love it here. Cheredith is ready to move and now wants to study medicine at NYU. I'll post pics soon and update more on our NYC adventures.
